Chapter 161 Taiyan Holy Land, Generous Mission Rewards
[Note: Chapter 160 has been revised, with nearly two thousand words added. If you cannot connect to the current text, please reread Chapter 160.]
In fact, Lin Hanzhou had thought about the various possibilities that the world might face long ago.
They would either be sacrificed to the entire world, or captured as geniuses with special spiritual roots, or conscripted as cannon fodder.
But he never imagined that this world could be used as a refresher for the Void Seed.
He would never have believed it if these words hadn't come from this local powerhouse.
After a brief brainstorming session, he roughly figured out the ins and outs of the incident and began to speak.
"So, the person you asked me to kill is from the Tianxuan Realm?"
"Yes, but you don't need to worry about his strength. That person's strength is only at the sixth level of the Returning to Emptiness Realm. I forgot the exact level, but it's definitely not at the seventh level."
Huang Xi gently placed the teacup back in its original position, her expression remaining as calm and composed as before.
"Then tell me more about that person so I can think about it."
As he spoke, Lin Hanzhou picked up the teacup on the table and took a small sip.
"According to the information I have, the other party is named Wang Yuanjie. He comes from a force called Taiyan Holy Land in the Tianxuan Realm. He is the only son of the eighth-level Grand Elder of the Holy Land and a prodigy with a lightning-attribute anomalous spiritual root."
"You don't need to worry about taking action. The other party often descends to the mortal realm to collect the Void Seeds of this world. That will be your opportunity to act. I will personally inform you when the time comes."
Huang Xi's tone was indifferent, as if she had already decided the other person's life or death.
"The only son of an eighth-tier expert? And a prodigy with a mutated lightning-attribute spiritual root? You said before that you had a reason for not being able to take action, could it be because you were afraid of retaliation from the Holy Land elders?"
Lin Hanzhou stared at Huang Xi, who was sitting opposite him, with a half-smile on his face.
Huang Xi remained silent for a moment after hearing this, then slowly spoke.
"You're right. That's exactly why I can't make a move. Even if I succeed in killing him, I'll be hunted down by that eighth-level elder from the Holy Land, and I'll be dead for sure."
"But you are different. You are a reincarnated person from the Samsara Palace. Not only are you not afraid of offending the Taiyan Holy Land, but even an eighth-level expert cannot truly kill you. You have no worries at all, which is why I want you to take action."
Listening to the other party's explanation, Lin Hanzhou put the teacup back on the table, frowned slightly, and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
As the other party said, because he could return to reality after dying in the dream world, he had no worries at all, and the threat from eighth-level experts and even the Taiyan Holy Land could be ignored.
But all of this is conditional, namely, that the other party needs to offer a reward that satisfies him.
After all, the only son of this eighth-tier holy land elder must have brought many seventh-tier protectors with him when he descended to the mortal realm, and he must have quite a few life-saving trump cards.
His expected outcome was to use a secret technique to exchange one for one with the opponent, in which case the reward offered by the opponent would be crucial.
Seemingly sensing Lin Hanzhou's thoughts, Huang Xi immediately began to discuss the matter of compensation.
"Let me think. What you need most right now is a treasure that forms the foundation of the world, right? As a reward, I'll give you a drop of the World Source. I don't need to explain the value of this thing, do I?"
As she spoke, Huang Xi glanced at Lin Hanzhou with her beautiful eyes, wanting to see his reaction.
Lin Hanzhou remained expressionless upon hearing the words "Origin of the World," but his heart was in turmoil.
It should be noted that the Origin of the World is a seventh-tier top-grade treasure. This thing can not only help cultivators open up the most perfect top-grade world foundation, but also be used to stabilize the foundation at the seventh-tier level.
Its price can reach hundreds of millions of points in the Reincarnation Palace trading area, and it is even more expensive than some eighth-tier treasures.
However, Lin Hanzhou did not immediately agree; he wanted to see where the other party's bottom line was.
"How can you guarantee that this source of the world is genuine? Also, I think we need to discuss the compensation."
Lin Hanzhou said this without batting an eye, showing no desire for the source of the world.
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, I can give it to you in another way."
"As for the reward, just look at your Samsara Palace mission panel and you'll see. This is the limit I can offer."
As she said this, a faint smile appeared on Huang Xi's exquisite face.
That laugh was enough to make the heavens and earth lose their color, and to dim the sun and moon.
Upon hearing this, Lin Hanzhou, despite his doubts, still opened the Samsara Palace mission panel to check.
He was so shocked by what he saw that he was speechless.
[Current Reincarnation World Side Quest: To fulfill Huang Xi's request, please slay Wang Yuanjie, the Holy Son of the Taiyan Holy Land.]
[Task Details: Please speak with Huang Xi in person.]
[Quest Reward: Three Drops of World Source (Tier 7, Top-Tier)]
[Punishment for mission failure: None.]
[Does the host wish to accept the current task? Yes/No.]
Lin Hanzhou stared blankly for a moment at the taskbar that had appeared out of nowhere.
The reason he was stunned was not because Huang Xi could issue side quests for the Samsara Palace; in fact, this was not uncommon in the Samsara Palace.
If the other party genuinely wants your help, their side quest list will pop up in the Samsara Palace interface.
This is also how reincarnated beings determine whether the natives have deceived them.
If there's a taskbar, then just do the tasks diligently and collect the rewards.
If there is no taskbar, it means that this reward needs to be claimed manually through unconventional means.
What truly stunned Lin Hanzhou was the three drops of World Origin in the mission reward.
Holy crap, these are three drops of the World Source, and they're even certified as a seventh-tier top-grade item by the Samsara Palace!
He never expected that his casual sip would directly raise the price to three drops.
Without hesitation, he immediately clicked "yes" to accept the task.
There is no penalty for failure; the reward is three drops of the Source of the World. Any hesitation is a disrespect to it.
"Don't worry, Wang Yuanjie will definitely be dead. Just remember to let me know when that happens."
Lin Hanzhou put away the mission panel, his gaze towards Huang Xi burning with intense fervor, as if he were looking at three drops of the World Source.
"I wouldn't joke about something like this so casually. I'll send you a message as soon as he descends to the mortal realm."
As Huang Xi said this, she took out a fiery red ring from somewhere and handed it to Lin Hanzhou.
"This is a communication ring. I will contact you through this, and of course, you can also use this to contact me."
After listening to Huang Xi's explanation, Lin Hanzhou took the ring and put it on his hand.
This way, he can receive Huang Xi's messages immediately.
"Alright, I'll see you out now. If you have any further questions, we can contact each other through the ring."
After Huang Xi finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved it in the air, and Lin Hanzhou's figure disappeared from the room.
